What's Love Got To Do With It.......when it comes to food that is? ;p

They say that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach......er hello? Don't us females have to eat to? And why can we not be portrayed to enjoy our food? its not like we all stand there like

The amount of times guys who I have met and say that girls they have met never eat...I'm like dude my size 8 days are well and truly over! I am comfortable with myself and happy, I think if you cannot be comfortable in your own skin, how can you expect someone else to be comfortable with you?

Magazines, Online adverts, social media focus's so much on weight and looks these days, I find it quite alarming how everything seems to be on face value.  And I guess like food, if you do not like the look of something  your not going to eat it. Our sight will send the signals to our brain and we are quick to decide that its not right for you and you should keep away from it.

I think its good to try at least, be adventurous, I have friends who dismiss foods without trying it, is this because we are now a fussy nation, as we now like the look of things rather then the taste?

I think this is why I am so optimistic when it comes to being set up by friends and family and not seeing pictures.  Just good to be thrown in there....but I believe if you meet someone and there is something there, and you are not sure...still give it a chance.

I have been blessed to have an amazing network of friends and family, and most come in two's...the married couples.  I love being around them and always feel their warmth and never feel like a gooseberry.  Being around such lovely people, I see how they interact, joke, love, and annoy each other, but it is all through growth, patience and love....I know it is not something that happens over night and Inshallah (God Willing) if/when I find someone, I will make an effort......it is almost like I am re-training myself to see the bigger picture.

This year I have met quite a few guys, and to be honest I think their ego's are their own demons and have made them SO blind!! Unable to see what amazing ladies are around them.  I still think guys have their pick of the bunch of ladies to choose from and I cannot see that changing.....that whole thing of looking out to see what is better, which is possible, but if they are constantly looking.....would it be better to have a love and be loved then end up being alone?

Talking about love I came across this and really hope to go to this, you guys might find it interesting too :)

I also came across this and I thought it was such a wonderful idea! When misfortunes happen to us, I think it is easy to think that we are the only person who has gone through such a thing.  When we look around and speak and see peoples experiences, its like a sort of healing process which what I think this is:

People sent in things from previous relationships and have a story to go with it.....I am always fascinated by peoples own stories, I think my favourite ones are about ''the ones that got away'' and the ''how did you guys meet''? :)

I recently saw Maleficent recently, and it definitely confirmed my views on Disney films....that there is a reason why the female villain's where the way they where! - BROKEN HEARTS BY THE REAL VILLAIN'S->MEN!!!

I don't blame them one bit! I think they are just misunderstood ladies....creatures. ;p
(But deffo go see Maleficent I loved it!)

But going back to the subject of love....I think there are all kinds of love, and seeing  and being around all forms and types of love is a blessing in itself, even if I do not have one of my own.....but there is one thing that cannot come between me and itself......My love of Food! I honestly think that Tina Turner's song was really about her love of food too......

''It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be

There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me''

I CALL THAT HUNGER RIGHT THERE!
Until next time ;)
